2nd day. Coolant level has stabilized and remains the same as yesterday!
Looks like I won't be joining Valley pan club yet. Or it was done by PO.

3rd day.
Coolant level still the same but I haven't let it sit a couple days either.
Nor is it freezing in DC metro anymore.

Hoping I don't have to revisit when the temps drop during winter

Going to put this valley pan on hold for now.

Update. I'm still good. Before morning start, still within min max.

Moving on to the timing covers and valve covers. Prolonged idle and smoke

At least you made it another 6 months.

Since you are going so far as to replace the valley pan, I strongly recommend you do the coolant transfer pipe that is under the valley pan at the same time! Just did mine and isn't too difficult and love the piece of mind. I used the All German Auto (AGA) expandable pipe. A bit more expensive than the Uro and another copy, but very well made. I highly doubt I'll have to replace this again.
